Biography

Nick's research spans topics in influenza virus pleomorphism. He uses RNA-seq to examine the coevolution of influenza's surface proteins on a shape-dependent basis, and builds systems for testing antiviral DNA origami to the end of designing a molecule that neutralizes viruses of all architectures. His work combines sequencing, flow virometry, and TIRFm to unravel the shape advantage of flu.
